Share of the Week: Transformation Tuesday – Bryant Lin
Throughout the years, we’ve had a number of athletes at Dreamland Boxing go through transformations, physically and mentally, in preparation for their first fight.
Today’s featured athlete is Bryant Lin (@bryanticker). In 6 weeks while training for his first amateur fight, Bryant was able to:
• Cut his mile time from 6:00 to 5:20
• Drop 8lbs from 158 to 150
• Cut his body fat from 13.4% to 8.6%
• Lose 8lbs of fat mass from 21.3lbs to 13lbs
• Put on 0.7lbs of lean mass despite the weight cut
• Run 10.5 miles of hills at Quicksilver
• Gain valuable boxing experience sparring with pros Ali Ahmed and Chris Washington
